Time is of the essence

An important factor to take into consideration—whether you have been injured in a car accident, construction accident or if you have been injured on another person’s property -- is that there is a limit on how long you can wait to file a claim in a personal injury or wrongful death claim.

Many times referred to as a “statute of limitation,” if you wait too long to file a claim, the claim becomes invalid and you cannot recover damages from the responsible party. Generally, in Florida, the following are the statute of limitations for a personal injury claim; however, we suggest always speaking to an experienced St. Petersburg personal injury attorney as soon as you think you have a case, to ensure that you retain your rights under the law:

Medical malpractice claims: 2 years

Personal injury claims: 4 years (from date of injury or accident)

Product liability: 4 years (from date of injury)

Wrongful death: 2 years (from date of death)

First Party Insurance Claim: 5 years (from date of loss)
